I'll even quote from the list guidelines:
# ----- 1. All messages must relate, even if only slightly,
to hardboiled and noir writing. Possible topics for
discussion include:
- Just what is hardboiled
fiction?
- How does it relate to film noir
and/or the pulps?
- Does Ross Macdonald belong in the
triumvirate with Chandler and Hammett?
- Who are the best modern
practitioners?
- Are there any truly hardboiled
women writers?
- How does the genre fit into modern
literature?
- Let me tell you about the new Jason
Starr book!
- Matt Helm: he's nothing like Dean
Martin.
- What's happening in non-English
noir writing?
Movies are best discussed in relation to the written word:
adaptations or screenplays by hardboiled/noir writers are all
right, but film noir in general is better discussed in other
mailing lists or newsgroups. RARA-AVIS is based on the
written word. Everything on the list should be about
hardboiled or noir writing, or directly related to it. That
won't make a shortage of topics of conversation.

People are always itching to talk about film noir, I know,
but you've got to tie it to the printed page!
